Shame, that car looked so sweet. But it's only a car and your limbs still work, which is way more important.

Get yourself another MK2 and transplant the best bits that are still functional. Atleast you learnt not to gun a car in wet country lanes.  Imagine if it was a bunch of kids on bikes or horse riders on the otherside of the road....... a nice spell over the wall and banned for a couple of years.
Life is like a skid mark on a toilet bowl.  Sooner or later someone\\\'s going to pi$$ you off.

For your info the road was dry when i crashed and i missed the other car. I had my incident on a country lane between rogate and liss, apperently its quite a notorious bit of road.

Unfortunately a copper turned up before we had moved it away and it was deemed unsafe to move so they got a recovery lorry out, so its sat in a compound in midhurst.Hope i can go over there and get the wheels off

terrible shame man. i know how you feel, i lost my first car to a country lane at a simular speed. Don't listen to all the idiots that moan about 'people like you affect our insurance' and ' now you've learnt your lesson ' as we all like to drive fast and every one makes mistakes. Just a good job you escaped unharmed :smiley:

I too feel your pain, my last oakie ended up looking quite similar after an incident down a narrow high-banked country lane.
Limbs fix themselves though and the next car is always out there somewhere waiting to be found. Glad you're both ok, another testament to the strength of the mk2.


You got any pics of your dad's split ?

Got insurance through for my golf today. Apperently i owe them 200 quid so no cheque for me, it was a CAT b write off so everything has gone :sad:. I spent over 1k in three weeks to get him looking like that, so all in the crash has cost me about 1300 quid. Thought thats what insurance was for but obviously not. Theres a few bits i have lying in my garage up for sale and thats my dubbin days over.

OMG, how can they do that, was your premium huge or something, I can't believe that, did you crash into a bently tree? Thats the only way i can see that you owe them from your policy.  :shocked: Thinking about mine now, its a shed incomparison to yours pre accident!  :laugh:
So whats next then?
